Mitutoyo 3416A | Large Diameter Dial Indicator | 1 in Range, 0.001 in Graduation, Lug Back
Part No. 3416A | Range 1 inch | Graduation 0.001 inch
Product Overview
The Mitutoyo 3416A is an ANSI/AGD-type dial gauge with a lug back design, 0.001 inch graduation, and 1 inch measuring range. It is designed for long-travel measurement applications including height checks, step measurement, runout inspection, and machine alignment.
The gauge is made to American Gage Design dimensions, making it suitable for compatible stands, fixtures, holders, and accessories used in inspection and machine-shop environments. Its 1 inch measuring range allows longer-travel measurements to be completed in a single setup, reducing the need for frequent repositioning.
The lug back provides a dedicated rear mounting point for fastening the gauge to a suitable bracket, fixture, or machine. The mechanical movement is designed for regular workshop use. The gauge also features a large-diameter, bi-directional dial for reading in both directions, a quench-hardened stainless steel plunger and stem, bezel clamp, and limit markings.
For a flat back version, see the Mitutoyo 3416AB.
